Kraft Mac and Cheese: It's clearly the answer!

Usually I put up interviews on Fridays but I'll be honest with you: the availability of interview subjects is directly related to the economy, so I'm doing my best to scrape some together. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this song/commercial/short movie by songwriter Wakiza Gamez and local filmmaker Steve Delahoyde (who I may or may not be married to. We'll see how things go. He plays the bongo player/Death.) It's an homage to the planet's favorite dairy/pasta dish, set to a tune from an old television promo. Enjoy, and sing along if you like:

Why can't I sleep?
Why am I so nervous?
Why can't I turn off my mind?

Should I take pills?
Should I drink bourbon?
Should I count sheep in the sky?

Oh I've got to get rest and be at my best
Presentation tomorrow at three
But my cat has been ill and some milk has been spilled
And my pictures are talking to me

And what should I do with these knives
That are following me?

Kraft Mac and Cheese
It's clearly the answer
The solution and savior for all

It comes in a box
It sedates the nerves
It squelches my hunger to maul

I can throw it in space rub it all on my face
I can make it write books for me
I can eat it in bed it can talk to the dead
And it makes an outstanding chablis

And oh by the way did you know
That it controls the time?
Divine!
